Who Chiropractic Helps
“While other professions are concerned with changing the environment to suit the weakened body, chiropractic is concerned with strengthening the body to suit the environment.”
— B. J. Palmer
Benefits of Chiropractic Care
Whether you are consulting for corrective, preventive or maintenance care, here is what you can expect:
Enhanced performance (whether you are a competitive athlete or a weekend warrior!)
Faster recovery
Stronger biomechanics and musculoskeletal alignment
Prevention of conditions reactivation and flare-ups
Increased overall health and vitality
Decreased joint pain, inflammation, and stiffness
Increased mobility
Better body functions by addressing skeletal and muscle imbalances
Correction of misalignments before it becomes a chronic condition
Improved posture
Reduced nerve interference, allowing the brain to communicate with your body more effectively
Conditions We Often Help
Back and Neck Conditions
There is a reason why Chiropractic is known for its effectiveness in treating lower back pain (LBP) and neck pain! But did you know that we can help any joint in the body? By restoring proper alignment (from your toes to your head), we are giving your body a chance to rebalance itself.
Headaches/Migraines
From tension headaches to true migraines, realigning the spine (with close attention to the neck) helps increase the circulation to your brain centers and reduce muscular contraction that often causes referred pain. Other causes include: sinus issues, nerve interference, dehydration, hormonal imbalance, etc. While helping your symptoms, we will make sure we address the cause of the issue.
Arthritis/Disc Degeneration
Did you know that the process of osteoarthritis and disc degeneration can be significantly slowed down with Chiropractic care? Additionally, by restoring proper alignment, we are letting your body reduce the inflammation (no longer needed) which means more motion and less discomfort.
Acute/Chronic Inflammation
Contrary to popular belief, inflammation is not the enemy. Inflammation is your body’s way to repair the damage and restore function. Some modalities (including certain chiropractic techniques, but not all) actually create microtrauma to temporarily increase local inflammation, allowing the body to heal itself quicker and then break the inflammation cycle. Other times, it is helpful to calm down an overactive inflammatory response by using lighter techniques.
Nerve Conditions
When there is swelling around a nerve it can cause very uncomfortable nerve radiation. Sciatic radiculopathy, cervical radiculopathy, and thoracic outlet syndrome are common instances of this phenomenon. Chiropractic goes to the root of the issue (so often at the actual nerve root!) and corrects the cause of the swelling or chemical irritation.
Other Dysfunctions
Because of Chiropractic’s ability to reduce nerve interference, many patients experience improvement in visceral concerns, vertigo, HPA axis dysfunction, etc. Also, by enhancing the body’s mechanics, concerns such as loss of balance, muscle spasm/compensation, and even TMJ dysfunction are often resolved with care.
